- Coffee: Drinking a small amount on the morning after will wake you up and give you temporary relief from headaches by slowing down the blood that’s pumping to your brain.
- Eat a banana: Eating a banana the night before and the morning after will help you stay hydrated because they are 75 percent water. But they are also full of potassium which you lose when you drink, making you feel nauseous.
